Site Improvements & General FAQs

[rcdb1984]

On our personal content we follow in the forums, can you make all he new content posts go to the top. I find mine scattered about my list 

[joel4motion]

Hello all,

My Brickpicker night time reading is taking a severe hit at the moment. Since the update the threads I read require me to manually find the last post I read by selecting a page then scrolling. The older version remembered where Id gotten up to or went straight to new content when I clicked on the thread.

It not the biggest problem in the world, I have many more important things in life to worry about, as do many others but it makes reading the forums bloody difficult. I have changed browser, logged in and out, used the mobile version etc etc.

Any tips appreciated.

Hi j4m... What platform are you using? Mobile or desktop?

If it's the desktop... Might I suggest the "New Content" feature up there on the right?

If it's the mobile, try clicking the big white star at the top which will bring you to all the new content since your last visit.

I hope that helps.

Topic notification emails are sporadic and delayed.  The delay isn't a huge deal for most threads, but it can be for the Daily Deals.  A 30-minute delay means the good deals are usually gone by the time the email rolls in.  I'm opting out until the email situation is resolved.

​The tough part about this is that it will be hard for me to diagnose this.  Many times, ISPs including hotmail, Gmail, Outlook sometimes delay email.  I did not look at your email address, but I can tell you that the email is going out from here as fast as it can.  You say 30 minutes, that is way beyond anything we control.  The email is going out a SMTP service.   Getting the message from the forum to my inbox was a minute or less.

Now I have noticed there have been times where it seemed that it took a while to get the mail, but that looks to be more of an issue with Gmail that me actually getting the email to Gmail

​Or he could ask Google directly.. http://www.labnol.org/internet/email-delivery-delayed/25922/

The message headers should tell him when the email was sent and why it was delayed.

​That is seriously awesome.  Never seen that before!!

While the search feature is being replaced or restored, any chance we can add some commonly used but often buried threads to the menu or at the top of the daily deals posts?

• My Order Status
• What LEGO set did you buy...
• What LEGO set did you sell...
• Retiring Soon Open Speculation
• Others I'm forgetting ???

Email notifications  seems to be much faster and almost instant as of yesterday .

My emails are much snappier today, too.

Squeaky wheel!

​Good, glad they are coming to you quicker

​There are some bugs for mobile users in this early version of their template.  They are more than aware of it, trust me   I can only wait until they release the next round of updates which will be with the next week.

Is there a option for show unread threats?

Can you filter this by clicking on the the New Content link in the upper right corner?​

[TLKC]

The star = new content? Filter doesnt work so well

[Jeff Mack]

​Why is that.  I just clicked it and your post was right at the top.  What is it that you are looking for it to do?

You could always click the checkmark that is to the left of it and "Mark Site as Read", that way when you click on the New Content and then add the filter for only unread things, you will just see what is new and you haven't read.

Sorry if this was already posted, but the BP forum Iphone app still doesn't work for me.  I'm just making sure that I'm not missing anything on my end...

Will the app eventually work again?

If not, what are people using now - just the mobile BP site in safari?

thanks!

[BrickLegacy]

Jeff said they are waiting on the app developers to roll out the new version.  It should only be a couple more weeks.  I'm just as anxious as you are.

Anyone else having trouble with the forums in Safari on their iPhone or iPad? I keep getting errors and the page reloads. Happens so frequently it's hard to read anything.

​I'm having the same issue. The forums are pretty much unusable for me on my Iphone 6/Safari at this time.

​Guys, did you just come to this forum and post without reading? No offense intended but almost every day a user comes and posts about the mobile app or the mobile version of the forum not working great and the answer was just 3 posts earlier in this very thread.

I know this particular forum isn't going to make people money, but I sure wish people would read it. It's almost as tiring as hearing about Pet Shop or Red 5 and their imminent retirements.

Admins: anyway we can remove the frame from the posted pics? it may interfere with the barcodes when being scanned. old forum did not insert the frame around the pics. i dont see the option to do advanced editing and remove it myself via code either

Anyone besides me having spell check issues? I have latest Firefox (was brand new install on brand new computer last week so I haven't had time to screw it up yet I don't think). In the text editor I get the red squiggly lines on mispelled words, but the only option in the context menu in the text editor are copy, cut and paste.

​I use Firefox and no issues except on real misspelled words (like mispelled ;)).

I suggest you check your "dictionary" (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker) and make sure it's set to something you recognize. I am having all kinds of problems with the latest Firefox and images though .. wouldn't surprise me if there are few other bugs.
